Review

Rabarbaro amaro influences this Negroni, making it a tad drier and punchier than standard three ingredient Negronis.

Rhubarb Negroni

1 fl oz Gin (Citadelle Rouge)

1 fl oz Campari

1⁄2 fl oz Red Vermouth (Storico VdT)

1⁄2 fl oz Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro

Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice.Strain into a chilled DOF glass over a large cube of block ice. Express orange zest twist over cocktail and drop in as garnish.

The gin I used has rhubarb as an ingredient, but not a rhubarb-infused gin. It paired nicely with the amaro. The amaro also brings a unique rooty bitterness without overpowering the Campari and dials down the overall sweetness.

If I served this in the blind, you’d notice something subtly different without quite putting your finger on it. Very much a Negroni first with a slight smoky bitter twist.

I really enjoyed the depth that Rabarbaro brings to this Negroni riff. The bitter flavours combine particularly well. A good enough reason to store Rabarbaro in your cabinet.

Used rhubarb gin - skipped the rabarbaro - and a splash of tonic water - tastes great.
